Description
Photographic films are still used in a number of medical and industrial x-ray imaging applications need to reconstruct an image on a flexibile surface. We will present the FleX-RAY project, which aims to create an electronic X-ray detector with the flexibility of photographic film, suitable for a variety of applications.
FleX-RAY uses a sheet of flexible scintillating fibers to detect X-rays and guide the scintillation light to arrays of silicon photomultipliers. The detector also self-reports its curved shape using optical waveguides with Bragg gratings on a flexible glass substrate, which act as strain sensors.
In this contribution, we present the detector concept, simulations of the expected detector performance for pipe-inspections and results of the initial tests on the FleX-RAY prototype.
